1996 Cadillac El Dorado Repair Question
Drivers Window problems
I'm stumped...seems like it has to be the door switch, but the replacement one I tried did not fix the issue. How can I test the door switch? Seems like I should be able to test across the red / black and brown/blue wires..HELP PLEaSE
Asked by nosnews45Answer
Are you just using one wire with 12volts to activate the motor up and down?
Yes, I discontect the connector at the motor, have run a wire from the red wire on main drivers door switch, to one side of the motor and then another wire I ground to the car door. Depending upon wheter I want the window to go up or down, I reverse the wires and everything goes up/down smoothly..seems like the up side of the main window switch is not grounding. Isnt the position of the switch when not being used nuetral , and when the switch is moved to raise or lower the window power is introduced, to complete a circuit?
If it goes up and down sounds like the switch -it should be in the neutral position before you engage the switch to up or down-
Bought a new switch, solved the problem...the switch I got from the junkyard was bad..who would have guessed you could have the same problem with 2 switches..live and learn..thanks..
It's rare, but not unheard of, especially when talking about junkyard electrical components. Glad to hear all is well. Be sure to tell your friends about us.
